What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I raced in the Merrell MTL Skyfire 2 Matryx Trail Running Shoe on a technical course with plenty of wet rock and rooted singletrack and the combination of FloatPro Foam cushioning and the FlexPlate underneath gave me confidence on rough ground that a purely soft shoe cannot match at this weight. The Vibram Megagrip outsole held through every wet section without a slip, and at under seven ounces per shoe the overall feel is fast enough that I kept checking my watch expecting the pace to reflect how light it all felt."

Race day demands a shoe that does not waste a single gram on anything that does not make you faster, and the Merrell MTL Skyfire 2 Matryx Trail Running Shoe was engineered around that principle from the midsole up. As Merrell's lightest and fastest trail runner, it strips away everything unnecessary while keeping the protection and grip that technical trail racing demands when the course gets honest.

Merrell stacked two layers of FloatPro Foam around a stiffer FlexPlate that adds rigidity and foot protection over rocks and roots without sacrificing the propulsive, responsive feel that fast trail running requires. The thermoplastic mesh upper keeps weight at the absolute minimum while maintaining the structure needed for a precise fit through high-speed footwork, and Vibram Megagrip rubber with 5mm lugs bites into wet and dry terrain with the kind of confidence that lets you push through technical sections rather than manage them. Cleansport NTX odor protection keeps the shoe fresh through back-to-back training days and race weekends, and the 6mm drop sits in a range that moderates stride mechanics without forcing an adjustment period. At 6.9 ounces per shoe, the Skyfire 2 Matryx is the shoe you reach for when the goal is the finish line and every second between here and there matters.
